Shakira has posted a message on her personal website asking everyone to donate cash to Jean's Yele charity organisation², while other stars including Mark Hoppus, Yoko Ono, singer Joey Mcintyre, and Kim Kardashian have all taken to their Twitter.com pages to raise awareness³ of the tragedy.

Jean's campaign has proved so popular, the website crashed as a result of the number of donations being made every minute. A spokesperson revealed透露，显示 the organisation is working on improving the site to allow for more donations.

Meanwhile, Winfrey opened her talk show on Wednesday calling for viewers to donate to the Red Cross, saying, "This is a time where we, as a global nation, should come together and support those who are in need."

And Coldplay's Martin is pressing for donations to Oxfam's Haiti appeal: "I visited Haiti with Oxfam a few years ago. It's a country of extreme poverty and brutal⁴残忍的，野蛮的 living conditions. Most people in Port-au-Prince live in tin shacks棚户. The earthquake that has struck Haiti will have turned the city into an unimaginable hell."

Hollywood supercouple Pitt and Jolie have also extended their efforts by donating £625,000 to help Doctors Without Borders in the earthquake-ravaged破坏，蹂躏 zone.

In a statement, Jolie says, "It is incredibly horrible to see a catastrophe⁶ of this size hit a people who have been suffering from extreme poverty, violence and unrest不安的状态，动荡的局面 for so many decades."

Pitt adds, “We understand the first response is critical to serve the immediate⁷ needs of countless⁸ people who are now displaced from their homes, are suffering trauma外伤，创伤, and most require urgent care.”
